Often, it is very hard to picture the gap between sensor measurements just by reviewing a spec sheet. The photograph underneath will give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-Z270 and EX-ZR800.

Clearly, each of the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The EX-Z270 because of its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field harder and the Casio EX-ZR800 will deliver extra detail due to its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The older EX-Z270 is going to be behind with regard to sensor tech.
